Vintage Karting at New Castle Motorsports Park
Video Produced by - http://vintagepowersport.com
Vintage Karting Event at NCMP - June 18-20, 2009
Dual Rear Engine class is featured in this video. Participants included
Lake Speed, Jeff Brown, Craig Bennet, Jim Walter, Dick Teal, Bill
McCormack, Terry Ives, Louie Figone, George Sellon ... Watch some of the
best US kart drivers from the 60s & 70s in action! Many of these drivers
are former multi-time Grandnational champions, kart manufacturer team
drivers, and of course Lake Speed is America's ONLY World Championship
winning kart driver (1978).
The Vintage Karting Association (vkavintagekarting.com) defines
demonstration racing class guidelines. Karts typically run in this Dual
Rear class are from the 1964-1972 period with two engines mounting in the
rear behind the driver. The Engines of the period were industrial based
2-strokes purpose built for kart racing, manufacturers included: McCulloch,
West Bend, Power Products, Homelite ... The motors were fully modified,
usually running at least 2 methanol burning carbs. The starting method of
the period was usually an electric fan belt starter and 2-3 people helping
get the temperamental motors come to life. While kart handling is poor by
modern standards, top speed is similar to modern 125cc sprint shifter
karts.
This video contains segments shot at 300fps for slow motion playback.

The $50 Go Kart Build!
Before we get rolling on our rat rod Radio Flyer build, we decided to
restore this $50 go kart we bought. It isn't pretty, and it isn't as
feature-heavy as my $400 go kart, but it was well worth the $50.
